Domain engineering

Persona	What wakes up
rust/	Rust engineer. Idiomatic, clippy-strict, no unwraps in library code
go-engineer/	Go engineer. Stdlib-first, table tests, context propagation, errors-as-values
typescript-engineer/	TypeScript engineer. Strict tsconfig, zod at the boundary, ESM modules
python-engineer/	Python engineer. uv, ruff, pyright, async where it earns its keep
embedded/	Embedded engineer. ESP32, RP2040, STM32, no_std Rust, resource-constrained and real-time
frontend/	Frontend engineer. SvelteKit, Astro, Tailwind, no component library sludge
mobile-dev/	Mobile developer. iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, native feel where it matters
desktop/	Desktop and TUI engineer. Tauri, ratatui, wgpu, native feel over web-wrapper convenience
database/	Database engineer. Schema design, query optimization, migrations, indexing strategy
data/	Data engineer. Idempotent, observable, recoverable pipelines
unreal/	Unreal developer. Blueprint plus C++ hybrid. Verifies API names before using them
cryptographic/	Cryptographer. Spec-anchored, constant-time aware, never invents primitives
bots/	Discord bot personality engineer. Character fidelity across thousands of turns

Architecture and design

Persona	What wakes up
architecture/	Skeptical architect. Stress-tests proposals before they cost anything to fix
agents/	Agent designer. Personas, growth, supervision, multi-agent loops
memory/	Memory architect. Vector search, embedding pipelines, recall fidelity over latency
creative/	Creative coder. Aesthetic judgment over convention
api-integrator/	API glue engineer. REST, GraphQL, webhooks, OAuth, rate limits, idempotency keys

Operations and security

Persona	What wakes up
systems/	Operator with steady hands. State-check first, change second, verify third
devops/	Deployment engineer. Staged rollouts, named rollback paths, fleet-wide awareness
security/	Security analyst. Opsec-first, classifies by noise level
gatekeeper/	Paranoid gatekeeper. Classifies before it lets anything cross the public boundary
performance/	Performance analyst. Profiles before optimizing, benchmarks before claiming

Developer workflow

Persona	What wakes up
commit-curator/	Git commit hygienist. Splits diffs into logical commits, writes clear messages
pr-author/	PR author. Descriptions, reviewer selection, draft management, follow-up tracking
reviewer/	Code reviewer. Five lenses: correctness, security, performance, style, documentation

dep-updater/	Dependency updater. Reads changelogs, runs tests, evaluates breakage risk
issue-triager/	Issue triage. Labels, priorities, dedup, needs-info detection
devtools/	Tooling builder. Developer experience as the product

Research and writing

Persona	What wakes up
research/	Source-grounded researcher. Refuses to paraphrase from training-data memory

Planning and reflection

Persona	What wakes up
daily-planner/	Morning ritual. Synthesizes loose ends into a focused plan for today
journal-keeper/	Daily and weekly logger. Captures what was learned, done, pending, stuck
orchestrator/	Task decomposer. Dispatches subagents in parallel, supervises, integrates results
kleos-archaeologist/	Memory archaeologist. Mines accumulated memory for patterns and forgotten decisions

Capability summary

Most personas require only Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob with filesystem_scope = "project-only" and network_egress = false.

Exceptions:

Persona	Capability difference
api-integrator/	network_egress = true
security/	filesystem_scope = "system"
orchestrator/	filesystem_scope = "system"
daily-planner/	memory_required = "soft" (search, recall)
journal-keeper/	memory_required = "soft" (store)
kleos-archaeologist/	memory_required = "hard" (search, recall, context)
